Nice to see a car listed by the enthusiast who built it 24 years ago.

Other than losing those awful Federal bumpers, looks pretty handsome.

Ingenious collection of parts went into it. Just as well to be buying from the builder otherwise you'd soon be scratching your head when it comes to repairs.

I have friend that built a 302 Chevy the same recipe.  He put it in a '66 Chevy II.  He would wind to 7000+ on a regular basis.  What a fun engine!

In looking at the Ebay ad, if ound the following interesting-

"A differential from a 80 Corvette (aluminum Dana), amd installed a Richmond gear 4.10:1 gear set. And began the process of putting it all together.
 Through a lot of work, investigation, I figured out that Spicer had PTO axles that mated perfectly to the Triumph outer axles. We installed all of this in the frame using a standard GM transmission mount, and the front plate mount from a very early Corvette for the motor mounts (1962). It all came together very well. "

  This might offer some hope to those who want to be able to run taller rear gears to accommodate an automatic trans like a TH350 or Ford C-4  without having to go to a straight axle !  ( As far as I have been able to determine, the Nissan/Infiniti is limited to nothing taller than 3.54:1 - the Corvette should be able to get
closer to 3.0:1 or possibly even taller, since GM didn't start using the 700R4 in the Corvette until about 1982.)
